| Photographer A moral question
Situation: You are in the Midwest, and there is a huge flood in progress. Many homes have been lost, water supplies compromised and infrastructure destroyed. You are a photographer out getting still photos for a news service, traveling alone looking for paticularly poignant scenes.
Suddenly, you stumble across a marine helicopter crash. It's George Bush's and he's struggling to keep from being swept away in a raging river and you have the choice of rescuing him or getting a Pulitzer prize-winning photograph of the death of a president.
What shutter speed would you use?
